Dynamics popover ”cresc...f”

Hi all,

it seems that this does not work – ”cresc. f” works fine but neither ”cresc…f” nor ”cresc… f” does.

Is there a way, or do I have to do two entries/edit afterwards?

Lae, I think we need more information here. What do you mean by “does not work”? What did you do to set up your entry? Did you select all the notes you wanted under the cresc, and then enter the popover? Did you do so and find the forte mark placed a beat too late? We need to know more.

What did you want?
What did you do?
What did you get (that you didn’t want)?

Thanks Derrek,
this is what I want:

Add the dotted line in the Properties panel. I’m not sure whether one can get it via the popover alone, but no doubt someone will chime in who knows about that now that you have shown what you want.

Hi @LAE
In Engraving options → Dynamics → Gradual Dynamics

Set the appeareance to “Cresc…”

Then, use the popover and write " <f"

Yes, that, or just adding two dots more on a second run.

Yes that is certainly a way, however, this score has both <, cresc. and cresc… in a variety of combinations with plain < being the most common. So in this case I cannot uniform everything, I have to adhere to the original setting from mid 19th century.

You could create a Macro changing the property, name it appropriately so that it can called quickly from the jump bar. Or just create it, go through the score and call it repeatedly with „Run last script“

Here is the script:

local app=DoApp.DoApp() app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kDynamicGradualChangeDynamicAppearance&Value=string: "kTextWithLine"]])
